MAC shy girl
is the classiest nude I have ever laid eyes on. Its golden tones that oddly
enough look really simple and elegant on the lips, paired with a deep, dark
smokey eye you can’t go wrong!

When Shy
Girl first came in the post with my overly expensive, perhaps ridiculous MAC
order it looked completely different to how it looks online and I wasn’t sure
if I liked it or not.

In fact I
wore this shade loads of times before I actually started to like it, the reason
being it didn’t suit me BUT with the right make-up to back it up, it looks
bomb.

I would say
if you order this online it is a lot more golden than nude in person and
defiantly I think suits a more tanned complexion better. But for us pale girls
a tad bit of bronzer, a smokey eye and thick eyeliner really sets this lipstick
on fire!

Last week I shared with you my
favourite pink lipsticks for my Wednesday Mean Girls series, this week is
lip-glosses and lip crayons!

The first lip-gloss I recommend
is by far the fanciest and something even Gretchen herself might wear. Dior
lip-glosses are perfection, they’re not sticky, they last ages and Dior has the
most beautiful shade choices when it comes to pinks.

Rimmel’s Apocalips are amazing
because they are super pigmented and look amazing on their own. Although the
packaging is far from being fetch the product its self makes up for its
ugliness!

Revlon’s colour bursts are also
an amazing cheap option for when it comes to a pigmented lip-gloss. However I
would say these have more of a quick and easy lipstick effect. Which, what
could be more perfect to quickly apply when your friend is screaming for you to
come shopping?

If you love They’re Real by
Benefit but are sick of paying the £18.50 price tag then there is now the
perfect dupe for it out in the market! L’Oreal’s Miss Manga mascara is the
ultimate dupe for Benefits number 1 mascara. It leaves the lashes perfectly separated,
elongated and voluminous. All for only £8.99!

The packaging and the advert are
to die for as well. I love the mixture of the simple packaging and the striking
colors mixed together. The mascara dries super fast as well and saves me
basically £10 instead of buying Benefits. So therefore I have discovered ladies
I can now buy 3 more Starbucks a month because of that cut down!

My only critical comment is the
bendy part of the wand, what is the point? Am I just being a moron or does it
do nothing what so ever? Let me know in the comments if you use this mascara
and you have discovered this mystery yet!

Make-up for school I’ve found has
always been so controversial. Those girls that would stare and bitch because
you forgot to blend out your foundation that day, yeah we can’t deny we all had
those days ladies…

There would always be one girl
who massively over drew her eyebrows on and sometimes even her lips too
(admittedly I think I was that girl). But girls don’t worry because
secondary/high school is all a gigantic make-up learning curve. And oh boy have
I learned a thing or two!

Today I’m going to share with you
girls some top products for school and if you want me to do a tips and tricks
post let me know in the comments!

First things first you’ll need an
utterly cute make-up bag, why? You just do girls don’t argue with me now! I
always like to have a separate compartment in my makeup bag to home my bobby
grips and a cute little compact mirror so I can keep an eye on when I’m looking
too shiny or if my lipstick is patchy.

Benefit porefessional, luckily I
have a mini one so it fits nice and snug in my make-up bag. But this little guy
is a holy grail for me, sick of looking oily? Sick of your make-up not lasting
long enough? This little guy will change your life! (full review of this
product here)

Now as teenagers we suffer with
acne, acnes scars or just that pesky spot that decides to pop up on photo day.
Maybelline’s fit me concealer is ever so cheap and has the most amazing
coverage. You can wear it as a ‘foundation’ or as back up to help cover up
unwanted things.

I use collections concealer to
brighten under my eyes because come on… who doesn’t look like a zombie on a
school morning?

Estee Lauders foundation, looking
for full coverage? This product always has my back, well my face but still.

MAC’s mineralize skin finish is
such a beautiful light powder, yet it adds amazing coverage and gives the most
flawless finish! If you are just starting out with make-up I really recommend
this product.

MAC’s fix plus, now… This product
is my newest school trick and life in general. Have you ever over applied your
foundation, concealer, and blusher? Had to remove your whole face and start
over? Then missed your school bus and got a bullocking at school? I can sure
tell you that was 90% of my time at school. Simply spray this on your face when
you look cakey and BAM magic it all merges and your make-up will honestly look
flawless.

Now these two products are for
the slightly older girls or with a bit more experience (as I would personally
recommend anyways). Contouring, I don’t really recommend this for school but if
you have a photo day or something important sometimes its nice to make a little
more effort! I would recommend L’Oreals highlighter, it blends so fast and
easily just like a dream and I would also recommend Bourjois bronzer as it
creates such a lovely, natural shadow to the face.

Eyebrows, now you don’t really
want to spend tones of money on filling them in as its only a small job for
school. I recommend the eyebrow palette by Vivo which is sold at Tesco’s! Super
cheap and perfect for first timers.

Currently I love Lancome
mascara’s so I just had to recommend them. But for a cheaper option go for the
Miss Manga mascara by L’Oreal, the perfect dupe for Benefit’s They’re Real (and
that’s a massive compliment L’Oreal)

Eyeliner can make or break a face
whether its done right or not. L’Oreal’s superliner collection is amazing and
there is so many to choose from, so you can find something that is really easy
for you to use!Lips, again something you don’t
really need for school but sometimes its nice to make a little more effort.
MAC’s crème cup is a beautiful pink shade, the texture is moisturizing and it
lasts for hours, literally!Lip pencils
are also amazing because they will last you a whole school day easily or if you
want something really simple there’s no harm in just wearing a pretty lip-gloss
on its own!

I hope these products will help
you out! Let me know in the comments if you want to see more school series, to
do with make-up or just even general advice for school, in the comments!
